Trio Arrested for Selling A Sack Of Sand For US$70K Claiming It Was Gold
US$70K Fake Gold Lands Trio In Jail
Three men from Chinhoyi allegedly sold a mining company in Matopo fake gold worth US$70 000 yesterday and they appeared before a Bulawayo court.
Nyasha Marumahoko, Kudakwashe Pfavai, both 28, and Daniel Pfavai, 29, are the suspects and they appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Shepherd Mjanja who granted them $3 000 bail each as they were ordered them to appear in court for trial on the 21st of December.
Hatirare 263 learned that the trio allegedly sold a sack full of sand to Phinias Munda, a manager at Ndlovu Syndicate Mines in Matopo.
Munda drove from Bulawayo to Shangani and met with the trio who then showed him a sack full of sand claiming it was gold in powder form.
“They then went to Shangani where they processed the sand using mercury and the sand was processed to seven kilogrammes of amalgam,” the State alleges.
Marumahoko and his co-accused during the sampling test process, tricked Munda making him believe that the samples were real as they switched the fake gold samples with genuine gold.
Munda after falling for the trick then paid US$70 000 to the trio and left for his office.
When Munda arrived at his Ndlovu Syndicate Mines offices he found out that the trio had sold him a sack full of sand and made a police report immediately which led to the arrest of Mamurahoko and his accomplices.
